Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Due to globalization and changes in the health care delivery system, there has been a gradual change in the attitude of the medical community as well as the lay public toward greater acceptance of euthanasia as an option for terminally ill and dying patients. Physicians in developing countries come across situations where such issues

Persistent Vegetative State After Traumatic Brain Injury - a Case Report and Review of the Literature
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Persistent vegetative state (PVS) is a chronic neurological disorder of consciousness, in which patients appear to be awake, but show no behavioural evidence of awareness. It cannot be diagnosed with certainty and misdiagnosis is very frequent. Its management has become one of the most controversial and emotive issues in medical ethics and medical

Big Data Technology in Shari’ah Compliance Risk Management (Scrm): a View of Information Technology in Islamic Finance Risk Management
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The global Islamic finance sector is booming and is likely to sustain a stable growth. With many Islamic Finance products introduced over the years, the demand in studying risk pertaining to Islamic finance product is becoming a major concern. The main reason to manage risk is to attain the organizations’ objectives on financial stability. In Isl

micro-Edm for micro-Channel Fabrication on Nonconductive Zro2 Ceramic
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this study, microelectro-discharge (micro-ED) milling of nonconductive ZrO2ceramicsis investigated using a Cu tool electrode in kerosene dielectric. An adhesive Cu foil is firmly attached on the workpiece to initiate the sparks. After the machining of Cu foil, an electrically conductive carbonic layer is formed on the ceramic workpiece disassoci

Ride Quality Comparison of a Quarter Car Model with a Nonlinear Hydraulic Damper and an Andre Hartford Friction Damper
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The paper discusses the ride quality of two different quarter car models. Attached to the first model is a nonlinear passive hydraulic damper while the second model is equiped with an Andre Hartford friction damper. Both of the dampers are physically tested and their characteristics are obtained by using a damper test rig. Based on the force-veloci

Effect of Metal Catalysts Type and Annealing Time on the Growth of Zinc Oxide Nanostructures by Thermal Vapor Deposition Method
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This paper reports the results of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructure growth on different types of metal catalysts, namely gold and platinum, and also the effect of annealing time of the metal catalysts prior to the deposition of ZnO nanostructures. The metal catalysts layers with 15 nm thickness were deposited on glass substrates by sputter coater and

Operation of Mobile Sensors for Monitoring Municipal Drinking Water Distribution Systems
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Tremendous advances have been recently made in inline, mobile sensors (IMS)technology for monitoring water distribution systems at unprecedentedly high spatial resolutions. Once fully matured, IMSs can be applied to obtain previously inaccessible information about the critical water quality parameters, faults, and leakages inside the pipeline netwo
